Article 37 Cooperation with national authorities

Summary What does Article 37 of the DMA regulation say?

This short article establishes the cooperative relationship between the Commission and Member States when it comes to enforcing the regulation.

It sets the tone for how enforcement is to be carried out jointly, emphasising that actions should be coherent, effective and complementary across all available legal instruments.

It connects closely to Article 38, which builds on this foundation by laying out the specific practical mechanisms for cooperation and information exchange between the Commission and national competent authorities.

Important points:

The Commission and Member States are required to work in close cooperation and coordinate their enforcement actions regarding gatekeepers.
The goal of this coordination is to ensure coherent, effective and complementary enforcement across available legal instruments.
The Commission may consult national authorities on any matter relating to the application of this Regulation.
